Whew! - Part the first...
Jul. 5th, 2005 11:10 pmWhat a busy weekend!
I seem to have wound up dragging all three kids around by myself three times this weekend, although they say they had fun; first to Dismalland as I mentioned in the last post - I thought we'd hop on the Monorail in Downtown Disney and save some walking, but we got there just as the fireworks were starting. They stop the thing running during the fireworks show, so we stood in front of the Lego store and watched. Then we got on, took it to the stop in Tomorrowland, then got in line for the train and took it to Pirates of the Caribbean. Gareth crowded next to me on the ride and told me to hold on to him every time there was about to be a drop. Angus hid his face when the skeletons first appeared, but gradually peeked more and more looks. We had gone the previous Sunday with my brother; and he and his friends had taken them when I went to move the car. They told me when I got back that Angus told them "The androids are malfunctioning," and when the pirates were shooting canons at each other, "Please, I'm a scientist, I'm only doing research!"
After the ride, back on the train to the entrance. As we passed the dinosaur diorama, Angus announced, "That T. rex can't be fighting a Stegosaurus - they didn't live at the same time!" You know, I'm going to have to look that up in one of his dinosaur books now - because I don't know! I can never keep those geological timelines straight...
I've got some pics of when I went with Doug and his friends last Sunday...
We waited at the Lego store for a bit because I couldn't get through to Doug's cell phone when we got there - The store has some new residents...I didn't know Darth Vader had blue eyes...
( Legos )
We finally met up with Doug and his friends Randy and Scott at California Adventure, and thought the Bug's Life 3-D show would be good to start out with. However, the kids are variously freaked by it - something about the stink-bugs, I think. Angus and I were going to wait outside, but it turned out everyone else exited early too. So we watched the Electrical Parade, a classic. I remember we used to have the music on one of those disks that had pictures on both sides.
